Dasus@lemmy.world 6 hours agoDo you care to point out anything specific from that article
I do. The part which I screencapped and linked, which states:
You may inherit a parent’s medical debt if you live in a state with filial responsibility laws. “These laws may require children of a deceased parent to pay back medical bills if the deceased’s assets are insufficient,” says Tayne. “Filial laws exist in 30 states and vary in their protocols and processes.”
Seeing how you’re saying you’re not wrong, while also just a couple of replies earlier you said:
The Wikipedia article you just linked has nothing to do with debt in general. The debt referred to in that article refers specifically to caring for your parents, not assuming their debt for other things (medical bills for previous procedures, credit cards, loans, etc.)
Where you SPECIFY medical bills. When in fact medical debt is literally said to be an exception which you can inherit from your parents BECAUSE OF FILIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAWS.
What is it that you’re not understanding, honestly, do tell? The answer is “nothing”, I know. You know you’re wrong and you know you’re pulling arguments from your arse with someone who actually has experience and literal education on the subject. That’s why you can’t actually discuss this with someone, even when were having the discussion in your language.
Not all debt is dissolved through insolvency SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE of filial responsibility laws.
You’re trying to disprove the comedian’s bit never happened. You can’t prove a negative, silly, but we can definitely show that it’s a plausible scenario, because of those filial responsibility laws YOU CLAIM HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

You don’t have experience though, lol. You’ve never dealt with an estate in the US, have you?
Medical debt != child support debt, genius.
Credible sources man, I’m waiting for them. Not Wikipedia, not another -pedia. Legal sources. You said you have read all kinds of stories.

And why, again, doesn’t medical debt get dissolved through insolvency… genius?
Because not all debt gets dissolved through insolvency in probate. You don’t even know the words. Because I know have experience on the subject in general, it’s rather trivial to see what the circumstances are in the US. Which are that because of FILIAL RESPONSIBLITY LAWS, not all debt gets dissolved through insolvency.
I feel like I’m kinda repeating myself here.

So now you’re on the “nuh-uh, my ‘nuh-uh’ is way more credible of a source than Wikipedia and Investopedia” rhetoric? Ugh. Remember how I called your rhetoric childish before? Yeah I take that back. In comparison, the earlier wasn’t this childish.

Child support debt isn’t medical debt and wouldn’t fall under filial responsibility laws. Source: the ones you’ve provided. Child support isn’t medical debt.

It’s not a comprehensive list of all the filial laws nor does it state that child-support debt isn’t covered.
A bit touchy about your size, are you? It’s not your height or weight which decree how fat you are. It’s your fat percentage. But even if I was wrong in assuming you’re part of the majority population of the US, which is slightly obese, that won’t change the facts of the matter.
Just using Lemmy, my man, I feel absolutely no aggression whatsoever, but you saying that you perceive some let’s me know that I’ve got to you. Cheers. ;)
Not all debt is dissolved through insolvency and that’s because of the filial responsibility laws which you said had “NOTHING to do” with this. But you’re not incapable of admitting when you’re wrong? :D
